Someone at a conference just handed me a Cashu ecash token worth 512 sats issued by their own mint and printed on high-quality paper.

Hiii new here! I make music and ask questions and share cool art. Love that this app is decentralized and censorship resistant! How’s it work?

My favorite thing about #Bitcoin is that it forced me to learn about money and its history.

How coins work.

How inflation robs everyone, especially the middle class.

Also btw state authorities are not yet clear what should be the recourse when not paid.

So do you have to pay it preemptively or only on demand?

As I understand it, it's for watching any sort of 'live broadcast' but I don't know what would be arguable in court. I didn't used to get one as I only watched YT etc, not any terrestrial stations.

New lens for my old camera, and tomorrow I’ll reiceve adapter to mount it on my canon. Can’t wait. This 135mm is a dream became true.

Is there any client with working mute words?

I know snort has that but it erases muted npubs so … there’s a trade off 🙃

I am totally lost on the relay screen.

Important question just came up and I'm throwing it to the crowd...I've already decided my answer but I'm open to be convinced otherwise;

In a straight up fight, who wins?

Hippo 🦛 or rhino 🦏?

Continuing on my education in cryptography and Bitcoin I'm learning today that while Elliptical Curve Cryptography (aka Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm or ECDSA) using a specific curve being 'secp256k1'.

In a coding script like Python or whatever you're into you could use libraries and functions to create a set of keys, use them to verify a string or in BTC a transaction.

In our coding script we could then verify that our message or transaction was created using using a private key associated with the public key. If the mathematics being carried out in these functions and libraries checks out then we can say our message or transaction has been signed by a (secret) private key mathematically proven to belong to an associated public key - publicly available to an end user.

In this way the maths and code behind a BTC transaction allows us to sign a transaction without revealing out secret key (which gives us ownership over it) while allowing the person we are sending BTC (value) to can see that it was indeed the key associated with that private key which signed the transaction and hence gives the user assurance that the transaction was legitimate.

At least this is my understanding so far... #studyBitcoin and the journey continues. makes me wonder is this what Nodes are actually checking when they run consensus rules against blocks mined by miners to be added to the time chain? Guess Ill find out soon enough.

Today I am making a change.

My life is in shambles.

Been looking for a job for months.

Husband just quit his because of horrible abuse.

I had a 45 minute panic attack.

And I realized….my emotions go from 1 end to the other. Swinging like a goddamn pendulum.

I’m sick of it.

It is what it is.

We will find a way to survive.

We always do.

The universe always finds a way.

And even if we do loose everything.

Is that so bad?

At least, we would still have each other.

At least, I don’t have to go through this alone.

Meditating last week and I had a mantra come in my head. I googled it immediately and it aligned with my needs.

I’ve never used a mantra before so it was very weird. My best friend actually read a book about them a couple years ago and she was working with a specific mantra but it never aligned for me.

“Om Namah Shivaya”

Om-na-mah-shi-va-ya

I started meditating with it and holy crap. It activated something in me. Now I have to preface this by saying that I’ve been wanting to be good at meditating for prob 15 years but never could. One day I had a break through and decided today was the day. This was the same day I received this mantra.

Kinda crazy, right?!

Anyways, I’ve been using it ever since and it really does align the elements in me. I feel very lightheaded after. Give it a try and let me know how it feels for you! I’d love to know!

For my best friend, she finds that it energizes her and grounds her. She’s an air sign so that makes sense too since she is more lofty and needs to be more balance with earth. I on the other hand am a water sign and generally feel very grounded so feeling More airy makes sense for me.

Thanks for staying!

I wonder if there is ever going to be sats values you can attach to reactions?
